I also think you should look elsewhere. He's just a poor fit for you. Be glad you didn't invest a lot of time, effort, and more money on him than you did.
I'm not sure about this part, but maybe you could talk to a few prospective ones on the phone and see how they answer a few questions before even putting forth the effort of an initial appointment. And/or, I think some people have talked about trying an initial appointment with multiple therapists and then staying with the one they felt best with. Of course, it would give me a lot of anxiety to have to interact with some and then turn them down, but, I do know most people here would reply that the Ts take that as part of their job, they can handle it, etc.
